Hound I think all parties have some part to blame, and you've summed it up quite well in the OP
Agree that the main failing, and the one that strikes me every time I watch is what exactly is going on in training? We've looked unfit all season, and the one thing that every non regular who I have bought along this season mentions is the complete lack of movement in midfield and upfront. I think this is largely due to fitness. Adding to the appalling injury and recovery record, the one thing I'd like to see a complete and total overhaul of in the close season is the coaching and training methods.
I do blame Stam largely for letting the poor coaching happen - though that might be slightly misguided. I'm not sure who decided to bring Gilkes in, but it seems to have been a big step down from Reid

PistolPete Blame lies with:
Recruitment:
Problem is, who don't know who calls the shots. We have been left with an injury prone, gutless team. It's the kind of thing that psychometric testing should illuminate, but a team with McShane, Gunter, Edwards (and led by Stam!!) ought not be so lacking in character, but for whatever reason, it seems to be. Add this fact to long contracts which allow them to play without financial motivation, and a bad run of results can cause a malaise.

NewCorkSeth I blame the fans. If they had just backed the boys and made some noise we wouldn't be in this mess.

From Despair To Where? But the current owners didn't appoint Stam or Tevreden and both of them built up a fair amount of credit last season. We havent even recruited that badly. Bod, Mannone and Barrow have been decent signings, Clement is showing promise, Aluko, Bacuna, Edwards, Elphick and Martin should be good signings for this league. It all points to shit coaching. The owners only real mistake has been not sacking Stam in January.

I think they're more to blame for not taking action to fix these mistakes in good time than for making them in the first place and it's cost them financially as a result.Maneki Neko owners to blame for putting STAM/TEV/Gourlay in charge

Agree with all that. Though Martin probably should not have been signed, and was done in a bit of a panic and because he was available.

Thank you. In fact it's astounding that the fans didn't do that this season as we employ a guy to remind us to do it for every home game. Maybe the club should print leaflets to give to the fans to remind them?

I'm worried because a malaise seems to have set in. The club seems to have a losing mentality and like the proverbial oil tanker, it's going to take a fcuk of a lot of turning round.
If we stay up on Sunday, I can see us flirting with relegation in 12 months time and if we go down, I don't see us coming back up immediately.
